Nuclear Power is not a viable option for the future because of the risks shown in history and shown in the present.

-Nuclear power actually produces pollution, but not on the same level as Coal and Oil, this will only slow climate change, not make a dent in it.
-I strongly disagree with the argument that Nuclear Power is safer than renewables. The Chernobyl and the Fukoshima disasters showed that while a Nuclear disaster may be relatively rare, it is still possible. In contrast, there have not been any significant disasters, if any at all, with Wind, Solar, and Geothermal power.
-Technological Advancements will not eliminate the desire for such weapons that certain countries may posses
-Waste Storage does not eliminate the danger of Radioactive waste, Illegal Dumping is a dangerous and severe problem and was shown in Italy from Criminal Organizations in the 1980s
-New Reactors most notably reduce the amount of waste, not the severity
-Commercial Fusion power will probably not be available until after 2050 or longer, fusion will not downplay the risks that current Fission Reactors pose
-I don't believe poor education is the case, Many people don't wish to risk a possible Nuclear Disaster even if the possibilities are slim.
-The mishandling of Nuclear Waste evident in Italy showed that criminals and terrorists can use the harmful products of this power to cause harm or cause health risks. Fires could case a huge problem, terrorists can easily utilize that point to cause more harm.
-Human Error such as the incompetence of knowledge of sea water and Nuclear Plants was shown in Fukoshima. This is a huge, and largely unavoidable problem, the risks are much larger of Human Error in Nuclear Power than in Renewables.

While Nuclear Power may have benefits and may be better than Fossil Fuels, it should be avoided because of the risks. Renewable Energy seems like a more viable and productive alternative to both fossil fuels and Nuclear Energy.

Reasons for voting decision: This might have been a good debate; too bad Pro vanished. Con was off to a shaky start, providing no supporting evidence for any of his claims, but Pro gave no evidence either.
